#Motd Decoding Karwa Chauth Makeup look



karwa chauth makeup look -indian festive makeup 2017

And the Festive Series continues...
So I didn't plan to make it a series but i am enjoying how everything is falling into place by itself and i am able to create a lot of looks for this festive season.So today's post is about Karwa Chauth makeup look which is falling on this Sunday 8th Oct. 
I created this look for my last class where i was teaching my students about Makeup which is apt for Karwa Chauth.Also if you are from Bangalore and wants to enroll for my Personal/Professional classes then do leave me an email at Vandanagandhir@gmail.com

So Let's Break down the makeup step by step.
Base:
I started off the Makeup using Mac Prep+Prime Natural Radiance primer to start off the base.I love this primer because it gives me a smooth base to work on with and it pretty much suits all skin types.



mac prep+prime Natural Radiance Primer

Foundation:  I used my trusty Mac Studio Fix Fluid foundation as a base in the shade NC-40 for her followed by Mac Studio Finish Concealer-NW35. It's a full coverage concealer which has plenty of shades so you will definitely get one for yourself! 
My model had round face so i added little highlight contour using the same studio finish concealer palette-Medium Deep.
I did set the base with Mac Select Sheer powder because the makeup is already heavy and select sheer powders are really lightweight.

MAC Mineralise Blush- Warm Soul
Highlight; Mac Mineralise Skinfinish- Soft & Gentle because we can never have enough Highlight!
MAC Mineralise skim finish- Soft & gentle
Eyes: 
Primer: PAC Eyebase no 4

I used All pinks & oranges shade from the palette which i have already highlighted in the picture for your reference.

Apart from that i also added Mac eyeshadow in Passionate for that pop of color in the crease. 

Eyeliner: Loreal Paris Liner Magique 
Kajal & Mascara: Sugar Twist & Shout Fadeproof Kajal with Sugar Lash Mob Mascara which is my ultimate favorite. It is Dark Black and provides intense volume.
Also, my model had such Amazing Lashes.

Lips: 
I kept the lips really matte and colorful.

New Launch: Loreal Paris Pure Clay Mask-Purify & Mattify Treatment Mask HONEST Review & Price


Hey, Guys!
A few days back when I was at ShoppersStop, I was near the Loreal Counter and came across this The New Clay Masks.It comes in India in two variants and after analyzing what my skin requires, I Picked up the purify & Mattify Treatment Mask for myself.
I needed something really badly which Purify my skin because after Putting on makeup every day,  my skin required a much-needed Detox!

What Company Says About The Product:

L’Oréal Paris Skin Experts have created a super-charged pure clay face mask for clogged pores with the power of Eucalyptus to purify and mattify your skin in just 10 minutes. The fresh, Indulgent eucalyptus skin care formula provides a soothing and refreshing spa-like experience, While powerful pure clays penetrate deep to remove impurities and unclog pores. Purify & Mattify Pure-Clay Mask addresses your shiny and oily skin to reveal clarified, Mattified, And refreshed complexion. Immediately Skin appears purified and healthier. Skin looks less shiny and excess oil is reduced. Pores seem tightened and less visible, without over-drying. Use After Use. Skin looks re-energized and refreshed. Skin complexion appears fresher. Skin is visibly healthier and more beautiful.


  • The creamy texture works deep into the pores, Leaving skin visibly purified and matte-looking, Without drying it out.

  • Has Eucalyptus extracts with skin cleansing properties

  • Skin is left feeling refreshed and revitalized.

  • Leaves skin matte, clearer and smoother.

Transform your skin in just 10 minutes with three new masks from L'Oreal, Each designed to target specific skin concerns. Use one, Two or three clays on different areas of the face depending on skin needs to multi-mask and create your ultimate.An absolute detox for your skin!



What BBB Says:

Let's Start From The Packaging, it comes in a glass Jar Packaging with a plastic lid.The Color of the Lid Resembles the Color Of the Product Inside and you can easily differentiate between the Two Masks.


The actual Product has a light mint green color and it has been created using 3 different clays kaolin, Montmorillonite & Ghassoul clay.

Kaolin clay helps in absorbing all type of impurities & excess oil.

Montmorillonite Clay reduces imperfections & Ghassoul clay keeps your skin fresh & Radiant.

All You need to do is to apply a thick layer of this product using your fingers(which is a little messy but i like it because my hands smells so good after that) or using a brush (looks a bit fancy) and leave it on onto your face for a good 10-15 minutes and then wash it off.


This Product smells really refreshing and gives you a Spa like experience.It is really Thick in consistency and dries out really fast onto the skin.

It doesn't Dry out my face and I am really Happy with the results.Your Skin will feel smooth and Clean after this and i seriously love How my skin looks after a 10 min detox session.



I loved this product when i used it for the first time but after that things changed. let me tell you a little bit about my skin condition.I have a normal to slightly Dry skin(in winters especially) and i have been breaking out a lot lately( Due to changed eating habits)


My T-zone Burns if i apply this Product on my Skin as i have got Redness and Acne mainly onto the center of the face.I would not recommend this product to a person who has breakouts and If you have sensitive skin then this Product is a big NO for you!(Oh, Thank me Later! 😎😎😎)



If you have normal to oily or combination skin then this product will work best for you.The Price is a little higher for a mask as we have other brands selling similar Products but at a Cheaper Rate.
I Would give this Product a 3 n 1/2 and would recommend you to try out the tester on a smaller area on your face to check whether it irritates your skin or not.

Let me know if you have tried this mask and what are your take on this, Till then Stay Bronzed & Keep Blushing!

TBC By Nature Frosted White Power Magic Peeling Gel Scrub with Nano Technology Review and Swatches

Hello guys!!
Today i am reviewing a Scrub from this brand called TBC By Nature and this is the first ever product i have actuallytried from this brand.




Company Claims: 
A peeling gel that visibly Rolls,lifts,sweeps away dead skin cells when massaged onto skin.Multiaction enzymes(pineapple,Pomogrenate and keratinase) along with cellulose effectively peels and helps uncover a smooth,fresh,new complexion,without drying,irritating or causing undue stress to skin.It remove impurities and decongests clogged pores for a youthful,radiant look.
Key Ingredienrs: 
  • Pineapple
  • Pomogrenate
  • Krratinase(effectively peels and helps uncover a smooth,fresh,new complexion.
How To Use: 
  • Apply a generous amount on clean,dry skin.
  • Gently Massage in a circular motion for roll,lift and sweep away dead skin cells.
  • Rinse well with water.
  • For extra enzymatic exfoliation, Leave on skin for one to five minutes then rinse.
  • Use one to three times a week depending on your skin's sensitivity.
Price: 350Rs for 100gms.

My Experience: 
Its been quite a long time since i am using this product in my daily skincare routine and now i am ready to share what i have experienced.



The product comes in a regular easy to squeeze soft plastic tube and it has branding,logo & name on the front side of the tube. 
The other side of the tube contains ingredients, how to use guide and brief description about the product.

The actual product inside is a transparent gel formula with tiny scrubbing granules.the gel gives soothing effect to the skin making it a perfect fit for summers.
wash off my face first with a mild cleanser and then pat my face dry.I take a tiny pea sized amount on my hand and start massaging it on my face in curcular motions.for a better result i would suggest you to leave it on onto your face for 2-3 minutes till it dries a bit and then massage gently and it will peel off all the dead skin and impurities from your face. 
I am attaching a ref picture for you which i clicked after i let it sit onto my skin for few minutes.





The white particles are the granules but the rest is all impurites which are coming out off my face.
It instantly brightens up my face but that glows stays for some time only.It does make my skin smoother and softer than before always i use it. 
I love the fact that it has so many natural ingredients like pineapple & Pomogrenate which basically slows down the aging process and peptides which brightens up the face.

I loved this product and i would suggest you to try it out and do leave it on your face for couple of minutes and then wash it off.i love the combination of natural ingredients it contains and it is priced fairly for the amount that the company is providing.it is very mild on the face also.

Elle18 Eye Drama Bold Black Kajal Review,Price & swatches

Hey guys!!
I know i have been MIA from my Blog since a long time but Hey are you following me on Youtube?? Because i give weekly dose of makeup,inspiration and tutorials on my youtube channel and you can check that out here! 👇
Bronzeblushbeauty Youtube Channel

Alright back to today's Talk and today i have with me a new revolutionary affordable kajal which just launched a few weeks back in india by None other than Elle18!!🎉🎉

 


Oh gosh! I remember those days when i just started off with makeup stuff and i bought my first lipstick from elle18 because you know its famous and affordable and people are talking so much about it!I remember that time they had a kajal but it wasnt waterproof and smudge proof so i didnt buy that but i am quite happy that they launched it now and lets see how impressive it is!! 

Price: It retails for Rs.135/- for .35gm of product. 

What Company says: 
Get the dramatic look with a smooth intense glide.last all day without smudge.
Suitable for contact lens users.
Opthalmologically tested.
Versitile in application.
Winged,smokey or just a precise opaque stroke along the waterline.
Twist up and easily glide away.

What BBB Says
I have been using this kajal pencil for a good time and i love how creamy the consistency is. 
It comes in a regular twist up and twist back retractable format which you find in pencils generally. 



So the texture is quite creamy and it glides on like butter onto the eyes.It does give a good Semi opaque finish in one application.the application is quite soft and the color it leave onto the eyes is jet black and you know how much we indian girls love jet black kohled eyes! 
 

It doesnt take much time to settle and becomes smudge free quite easily.

 

You can see how black it is and it was just two swipe because i always run my kajal back in forth and take small small steps since it ensure the maximum color payoff out of kajals. 

When it comes to stay it probably last on my eyes for 4-5 hours and after that it starts to fade a bit.It doesnr irritate ny eyes and cause any allergy or reaction. It is smudge proof to some extent and it is crazily waterproof! I love it since it is affordable and perfect for college going girls!  

If you want to create smokey looks using this kajal then make sure you quicky smudge the kajal  before it sets  otherwise  you will end up having a patchy eye look which doesn't look quite appealing!! 
So in closure i would like to summarise it as a great kajal for such an affordable price despite of slight fading after few hours as i won't  mind reapplication! And yes definately i am recommending it to you in case you want to buy it! 

Also if you dont know i have set my own store with the help of wooplr team and now if you like something i show on to my channel or blog you can instantly just follow the link and buy the same!

I am leaving few links below as well from where you can easily get this product!
